    Latkes are so pashut for every Beis Yaakov grad, that it doesn’t even need elaboration.

    It’s like a boys aleph beis.

    Considering the inflation over the last half a decade, has the tipping amount increased?

    How much do you tip boys rebbeim and girls morahs and how many times a year do you tip?

    What do goyim use crockpots for? (At one time I was surprised to see them being sold by goyish stores.)

    After civil year 2100, as happened last after civil year 1900, the civil date of the switch to vsein tal umatar for the next hundred years will change.

    (Am I starting to sound like 147?)

    FWIW, the wedding was an official Christian church service with the galachim conducting a religious ceremony and prayers.

    Wolf, I would never take JPost (or other Israeli papers) at their word. Especially an article referring to events 20 years prior on a different continent. In any event, if you look at the JTA article from 1981, the Chief Rabbi said he wasn’t snubbed.

    Wolf, as I recall he arranged not to be invited as otherwise he would have been invited and he wouldn’t attend. There wasn’t a change in Royal protocol between Charles and William’s weddings as to whether the Chief Rabbi should be invited.

    on multiple occasions now I have seen someone get strongly pressured into engagement or marriage

    How can/does a potential fiance or fiance pressure their potential fiance/fiance to quickly get engaged or married?

    Why can’t the person simply say no or not so fast? (i.e. two weeks of dating isn’t enough; I need another week or two.)

    4) Are boys dating and marrying earlier or girls dating and marrying later than they had prior to NASI?

    5) Are boys coming home from Eretz Yisroel earlier than they used to? Have any of the newer plans from NASI materialized?

    Wolf, it makes a point, though, that I was bringing out. The menfolk respect older and wiser. In fact older as wiser. Indeed looking older (even if not older) gives a wiser impression.

    As much as I don’t know you, Wolf, the little I know tells me you’re a tzadik. And if you deny this it must be because you don’t properly understand the definition of a tzadik. I know you daven three times a day, eat strictly kosher, help your family, raise children to be ehrlich and Torah observant, help others and love your fellow Jews.

    I also see in the past you hadn’t protested against others judging you negatively, only protesting those judging you positively. You are, in addition to your other fine attributes, an anav too.

    Not according to Joseph. Rather, according to the Chofetz Chaim.

    Anyways, since you are a tzadik, Wolf, the tradition is to kiss your hand.

    MDG, so you limit yourself to certain mitzvos and eschew other mitzvos… I choose to do all mitzvos as frequently as possible, without one mitzvah being an excuse to avoid another mitzvah. Deriding apikorsum is a mitzvah and not something to avoid.

    Does that mean that it might be preferable for one to avoid water without a hechsher?

    Did you overlook the Chofetz Chaim saying it is a “mitzvah” to put down apikorsum? Do you not want to get as many mitzvos as possible?

    “The OO are apikorsum.”

    That is well known. What are you gaining from repeating the obvious? What’s your need?

    “???? ???? ?????? ???? ??? ??? ?’ ???? ?’ – ????: “???? ?????? ?????? ??? ??? ????????? ????? ?????? ??????? ??? ?????? ???? ??? ??????”.

    MDG: The OO are apikorsum.

    “???? ???? ?????? ???? ??? ??? ?’ ???? ?’ – ????: “???? ?????? ?????? ??? ??? ????????? ????? ?????? ??????? ??? ?????? ???? ??? ??????”.

    So for you to come here to defend apikorsum by asking why are they being put down, I refer you to the aforementioned Chofetz Chaim.

    So you’re dissatisfied whether someone responds too thoroughly (in your esteemed estimation) and if someone responds not at all. Interesting. It’s okay that your nervousness is pointed out to you. And there are no previous discussions of this topic by this poster. (Or by others insofar as I can tell.) But if this is your definition of high level, who am I to argue with you.

    This is high level to you? You seem a tad nervous. Do some discussions get under your skin? The only place you saw this previously discussed in recent memory is if you pursued through nonpublished material.

    No, musical instruments have kinda gone out of fashion and people no longer teach them.
